You are so right! You gave me a fabulous warning! And I'm sure I even read it. (Because I'm friends with GreenStreetBooks.) But I don't remember the names of books I don't want to read. And then later when it was recommended, your warning was nowhere inside my head.

Oh, I did hate the jargon. The poor guy was trying to be funny but he's not good at it. I can recognize good humor in others, though.

If he broadened his interview pool, he wouldn't be able to hang out on golf courses and in, uh, motorcycle gangs.

I only learned one thing (which may not be true)--about the retirement plans of folks living at the turn of the century, after so many people moved to the city and started getting forcibly retired but before Social Security. They moved in with their children, and their children took care of them because if they didn't, they would be written out of the will. Funny, but maybe that's just what the rich old people did.

Also, it's only the second time I've heard that sometimes people use money as an excuse to do something they want to do for some other reason that they don't really want to think about. (He dragged his family to a totally "alien" land--another state--supposedly for financial reasons but really because he wasn't done trying new things yet.)
